Get Well Card for Tom

Good Morning Everyone!

Hope to find you all doing well and enjoying life. I am doing

a lot of crafting with some video watching since we have finally

got some rain. We still don't have any snow on the mountains

but we are hopeful. It is said that it will be raining off and on for

the next few days. Well enough of the weather.

In my header picture is a card that I made for Tom which is for

one of two challenges that Beth has going right now.

Some of the materials I used are Tim Holtz Steampunk embossing

folder, Car stamp Fiskers Twist and Shout, sentiment stamp TPC

Studio Whimsy Greetings, watercolor pencils, Bazzill cardstock,

and scraps from other projects.

Ok a couple of silly things that came to mind while talking about

the weather. Where I grew up we had a radio station that did some

comic skits and one was Joe Momma with the weather. The D.J. would

say and now Joe Momma with the weather Joe would come on and

say this is Joe Momma with the weather and that was it. Mind you

he had an accent and a lot of us would try and copy his phrase. I know

it sounds a little crazy but I turned 50 earlier this month and crazy

things come into my head. The next crazy thing that came into my

head was we were sitting here watching the weather and how the

other side of the U.S. is having all this snow that is not usual. I

told my husband that we needed Superman to rotate the earth so that

we would get that snow up in the mountains where it belongs and

the other half of the U.S. could have their warmer weather. This last

weekend our temperatures were in the mid sixties that it felt like it

was already March. I know I need to get it together before my husband

has me committed. So I will stop for now.

Hope you like my card. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!

 

 

Beths' Challenge #2

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope to find you all doing well and staying warm. It has been

a crazy weather year all over. We are glad to finally be getting

some rain which has been needed around here, especially since

we have had three forest fires in our neck of the woods. Way

to early in the year for that don't you agree?

The card in my header picture is for the second challenge that

Beth was hosting. Challenge #2 was to make a card for Christine

and her husband. Christine has a youtube channel and is part of

Beths' crafting community. Christines husband is in the hospital

and Beth wanted to cheer them up by sending them some cards.

I joined the challenge and this is the card that Christine will

receive from me. Hope you like my card.

So until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!

Will you be?

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope to find all of you doing well and staying warm. Not to

brag but our days here are beautiful for it being winter. The only

downside is that we are very dry and now we are in fire danger.

This is the earliest in the year that they can remember of us being

in fire danger . We are all hoping we get some rain.

Ok so now onto my card. Here is another card that I created for

Beths' challenge

It is a window card

Just a very simple card. I used one of the Spellbinders dies to

create the lattice work on the front.

Well as you can all see I have been creating cards after I said

that I was going to do less cards and more craft projects. Nothing

like eating crow.....LOL.....Oh well

Hope you like my card. Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!

 

My Bunny Valentine

Hello Everyone!

Hope to find everyone doing well.

Sorry for being MIA again. I have spent the last week and a half

helping a very dear friend. Her family and of course her got ill with

the flu so I kept checking on them and going to the store for them

to get them what they needed. My routine was to get them what

they needed then I would go to their house ring the bell leaving the

items they needed at the door and running like heck hoping not to

get the flu bug they had. As soon as they started feeling

better I started to feel a sore throat coming on so I made sure to get

plenty of fluids and rest. I didn't get real sick which was good. Just

when I thought that I was good to go I ended up with a stomach bug.

My 50th birthday happened somewhere in between all this illness

so I postponed all plans. I am finally feeling good again not great but

it's better then bad.....LOL.....

This is another card that I made for Beths' challenge

The Bunny I believe came from Stamp Fairy but not real sure.

If anyone knows for sure who the artist is please let me know

so that I can give credit where credit is due. I water colored

the bunny. I like how it turned out. Hope you like it.

Until my next post stay healthy and safe.

Corrugated treat boxes

It's getting chilly here again so I thought it would be a great

day to share my corrugated treat boxes that I made for the winter

shows that I did last year. As you see in my header picture I made

two different styles. One is in the craft corrugated cardstock while

the other is a glitter white corrugated cardstock.

This did very well for me at the craft show.

These boxes are quick and simple.

See I really have been crafting. I was pretty busy trying to get

everything done that I normally do for the Holidays that my poor

blog kind of was set on the back burner. With the move in March I

really wasn't ready to do any shows but ended up jumping in with

both feet and my eyes closed. Now that all of that is behind me I

can get back to blogging. So greatful to have made it through

all the hustle and bustle.

Hope you like my treat boxes, until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!!

Valentine card For Beths Challenge

Good Morning Everyone !!!!

Hope to find everyone doing well. I hope that no one has gotten

that flu bug. I have had a few really full days. I'm trying to catch

up on house work. I still find time to craft. In my header picture

is a card that I made for Valentines day. This card I made for a

special challenge. Beth who does youtube videos is collecting

Valentine cards to send to St. Judes  so that all the children there

will get a card. If you would like to join that challenge you can go to

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp7AqL63h3I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUsjEHsPMPzhBYPQOXYWLtjw

She gives all the challenge details there. Beths youtube name

is Bethsscrapbookroom

This is just one card of a few that I made to send to Beth.

For this card I used a digi that I got from MMD_Buddy's Digi.

I coloured him with water color pencils. Clear stamp sentiment from

Studio G, added some embellishments and ribbon from my stash.

That's my card, Hope you like it.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!

 

 

Altered Mirror

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We spent the weekend

watching football games. So glad that Seattle is moving on.

Because of watching the games the house was a bit messy so

 I spent the morning cleaning up all the mess.....LOL.....

In my header picture is a mirror that I altered/ dressed up.

Below is what it looked like before I did anything to it.

 

Sure makes a difference doesn't it?

The flower I made using Tim Holtz Tattered Flower Die. I

used muslin and burlap. The burlap was some scraps from some

other project I had done a long time ago.

I made some smaller roses using a paper punch. Used some

raffia that was also in my stash. The pearls were actually white

but I distressed them with tea dye ink.

I liked how it turned out all I need to do now is get it hung up.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Evening!!!!!

Paper bag mini part 2

Good Morning everyone!!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. Glad to see that the weather

is getting better for some that were in some freezing cold

weather. We are getting some much needed rain here and our

mountains are getting the much needed snow. Love that things

are getting back to normal.

As I said in my last post that I would post the second half of

my paper bag mini because there were so many pictures, well

here it is. Below is the page that I stopped with.

Below with picture mat removed.

The inside of the same page next.

Journaling card or photo mat the owner can decide how to

use it below.

Next page below. This is my favorite page and this is the also

the header picture.

Next is the page open. I love the paper on this page that I

couldn't cover it up with embellishments.

Below is a mat or  journal card.

Last but not least the back of the mini.

I am thinking that I might have to change the spiral binding

with a bigger size, but that will be a quick fix. I'm happy with

how this album turned out. I hope you like it too.

Until my next post stay warm and safe, Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!!!

Paper bag mini

Good Morning everyone!!!!!!

Hope everyone is finding a warm place to be and keeping safe.

Since so many are staying inside hopefully you are spending

some of your time to create, read or just relax.

I have been creating and looking at my header picture is proof

of that. I created this mini album from paper bags. I also used my

Zutter machine for the first time on this project. I am breaking

the posting of this album into two parts because of all the pictures.

The album measures 6 inches by 4 and 3/4 inches.

I made journaling cards for the pockets.

I used the DCWV Tres Chick stack for most of this album along

with scraps from other projects.

Another pocket and journaling card

 

I also made a few photo mats for the album

I just wished that my albums would come together a little faster.

Making albums is somewhat hard for me. I love the albums that

I see on other bloggers posts with all the embellishments but I

just can't bring myself to embellish. I guess I'm more of a clean and

simple type. Well I hope you like what you see so far. Until my next

post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!

My first one 12 by 12 sheet mini album

Hello everyone.

I really can't say good morning or good afternoon because it is

way late in the day. I do hope you are all doing fine and keeping warm.

Sorry about no post yesterday but I have been having some technical

difficulties. When I plug my camera in and download pictures it all goes

well, but as soon as I unplug the camera my pc will go off-line and it

takes me some time to get it back on line. I figured that with all the

problems that I was having I should get all my pictures taken and load

them up. Well that didn't go to well my card was full and then the

battery died, so here I am finally posting to my blog. The little road

blocks of life can't and won't stop me....LOL... I will just laugh at it.

In my header picture is a one sheet mini album that I made for the

very first time. The mini measures 4 and 3/4 in. by 3 in.

This post will be a little picture heavy. The first page and the pocket

on the first page below.

the next page and the pocket on the second page below.

Third page and the pocket on the third page below.

Next is the last page.

The back of the mini album.

So there it is my first one12 by 12 sheet mini. 

It was very easy to make and a lot of fun. I hope you like it.

Until my next post Have A Splendid Evening!!!!!!! 

Altered can with Ladies Diary

Good Monday Morning/ Afternoon everyone.

Hope everyone is staying warm. I've been watching the news and

I am seeing all the bad weather that is happening on the other side

of the U.S. I was so into the news today then a few phone calls

that I had to take ( mother-in-law )that I almost forgot to post

on my blog. I guess better late than never.

In my header picture is a taller can than the one I posted about

yesterday. I used the Ladies Diary cardstock from Graphic 45. I

added some lace and some flowers from Prima. It gave my project

dimension. I know you really can't see it in the pictures but the flowers

are there.

Different shots trying to give the all around view.

This would look to great on my dresser. It can be used to store

all kinds of things ( cotton balls, q-tips, manicure items) just

a few ideas. I hope you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Altered Peanut can

Good Sunday Morning!

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and has found a few

minutes to craft. I have had a few moments to make it to my craft

space after getting all the decorations put away and have done

some crafting. As you see like I said before less cards this year and

more crafting like what you in the header picture. In the  header

picture is a peanut can that I altered. The reason I used a peanut

can is because my husband likes his peanut snacks that we end

up with a few cans. Some of the cans have been used to store

nails, bolts and of course nuts for the bolts....LOL...... My

husband decided that he had more than enough of these cans

and I didn't need to save them. As I was getting ready to throw

the cans away I took a second look at them wondering if I could

do something with them, low and behold my altered peanut can.

 

I washed the can with soap and water to get all the nut oil out of it.

Using some Mulberry paper and a cutout from some Graphic 45

cardstock I mod podged it to the can. I then added a rose to the top.

The rose is some of my stash that I am trying to use from my floral

making days. I hope you like it. Until my next post Have A Splendid

Day!!!!!!! 

Baby Boy mini album

Good Morning

I Hope that everyone is doing well and keeping warm. My mind

and prayers have been on those that are dealing with some really

cold weather. Maybe I can get your mind off of the cold weather

for just a few minutes with my mini album that I made. This post

will be picture full.

The album was made with paper bags.

I tried to stay mainly with different shades of blues but as you can

see there are a few pages that have pastel colors.

I made this album geared more towards boys.

I wanted to keep it simple and clean leaving a lot of room

for pictures.

 

There are a few journaling mats like the cute one below sticking

out of one of the pockets.

Pictured below is the back and last page of the album.

Hope you like my mini. Stay safe everyone and until my next

post Have A Splendid Day!!!!!!!!
